Sorry sir, but I have to strongly disagree with that statement. And the effects to your lungs from combusting tobacco is different from combusting weed or other plant material. Tobacco clogs and fills up the lungs with heavy tar. While MJ opens up the lungs and is somewhat of an expectorant. That's is why blunts are so nasty. Also, things like spearmint and eucalyptus have other "medicinal" effects for breathing. And there is more hard science on that whole subject in the future.
Plus there are some smart FC-ers here who have delved even deeper on the subject. And some of us are pretty passionate on the whole matter. Fortunately, there is plenty of source material to open up to here. So
Shop smart...Shop S-MART. Got it?
Vaporizing is more like cooking out the water and producing water droplets (vapor). Smoking is burning the plant material and produces Carbon and a range of carcinogens. This is also why the effects of smoking-combusting is so immediate.
Plus cigarettes are DESIGNED to combust with the most immediate impact.
That's why you read about tobacco manufacturers adding things like chocolate and other garbage to add to that initial heart racing rush. This is biggest hurdle to overcome when switching from combusting to vaporizing IMHO tobacco or otherwise. But especially tobacco for a host of reasons.
Plain unadulterated Tobacco is harsh. That is why American Spirits cigs are scratchy compared to say Newports. Using a dry herb vaporizer would circumvent the harshness with plain tobacco. Just that first draw won't have that initial impact as say a first drag off a Marlboro Red.
Yes. There is a reason to vape if you are a cigarette smoker. If you understand the what and why, then you have a larger reason to make the full crossover too the
real "FLAVOR COUNTRY" of vaporising.
